HC Deb 07 February 1989 vol 146 c659W
33. Mr. Robert B. Jones

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what is his Department's policy on the sale of redundant land and buildings to assist in the financing of the equipment budget.

Mr. Neubert

It is the Department's policy to keep the size of its estate under constant review and to dispose of surpluses as quickly as possible so that holdings are the minimum required for defence purposes. The resources released as a consequence are available for other high priority defence requirements.
